Chapter 50 Five thousand taels, then half a finger

"On weekdays, we eat, drink and play together, and I have spent a lot of money on them, but they..." Shangguan looked up in surprise, his red eyes full of despair: "At the critical moment, huh!"

"Five thousand taels, it's not enough!" Xu Ruzhen shook her head: "Mother-in-law, let's just leave it like this, I don't believe that Xiaoyue can really chop off our fingers without caring!"

One hundred and five thousand taels of silver were carried to Mozhu Garden in several boxes.

Xiaoyue was holding baby Ruoxi in the sun. Baby Ruoxi fell asleep, with a gauze covering her face and only a thin blanket wrapped around her. She was basking in the warm sun, feeling extremely comfortable.

Shangguan Jinghong walked in a very strange posture. Behind him, Xu Ruzhen supported Hu. Several people came over. Their faces were dark and their eye bags were dark and big. They looked like they had lost their souls and were like walking corpses.

"Yuer!" Shangguan Jinghong walked into the yard and saw Xiaoyue in the sunlight. He called out softly.

Xiaoyue was wearing a lavender long dress and a white fox fur cape. In her arms, she held a small baby. The sunlight shone down, and it seemed as if they were covered with a layer of light golden halo, which made Xiaoyue look more beautiful and her temperament better.

Thinking of these days, Zhai Bailian, who lived in the front yard, stayed up late with them and had to coax the children. In addition, there was no money in the mansion recently, and the food was very poor, dry, and there was no soup. Therefore, in just a few days, the woman's face became pale and her figure became skinny...

Xiaoyue raised her eyes with cold eyes.

"Don't disturb Xi'er's sleep!" Xiaoyue said lightly.

Nanny Qin checked the silver in the box. After a while, she stood up: "Princess, one hundred and four thousand five hundred and eighty-two taels, 5,418 taels are missing."

"Princess, this is really not available. It's all here, and it was borrowed by Hong'er and many people. This family has 3,000, and that family has 2,000!" said Mrs. Hu.

"Yuer, don't be so excessive!" Shangguan Jinghong stepped forward, frowning, and said: "You enter the general's mansion..."

"Well!" Xiaoyue was patting the maiden and taking a walk. When she heard the number, she stopped.

"Ten thousand taels for one finger, five thousand taels, half a finger!" Baby Ruoxi was sleeping soundly, the sun was shining, and she was warm. As a result, she was woken up by the mother and son of the Shangguan family, which made her unhappy: "You disturbed my sleep, it's annoying!"

"If I remember correctly, the title deed of this general's mansion belongs to me, and the house was bought by me!" Xiaoyue said.

"Xiaoyue, don't go too far..." Xu Ruzhen finally collapsed. She rushed up, pointed at Xiaoyue and cried, "So what if you are a princess? You have been living in the general's mansion for these years, eating, drinking and spending..."

"Swish!"

A white cold light flashed, and Xiaoyue closed her eyes slightly.

She lowered her head to look at the swaddling clothes in her arms. Xiao Xi'er was frowning because of the noise.

"Ah, ah ah ah..." Xu Ruzhen didn't feel anything at first. She stared at the half finger that fell on the ground for a long time, and then she fell backwards. With a pig-like howl, she rolled on the ground: "My finger, my finger!"

Mozhuyuan suddenly became quiet, and Hu looked at this scene with a pale face.

After a long while, she trembled her lips and muttered, "It's over, it's over, it's all over!"

"Bai Yu... Yue'er, you..." Shangguan Jinghong turned around, wanting to scold Bai Yu who was sheathing his sword. However, he was the commander-in-chief of the Black Armor Guard and had the power to kill first and report later. Even though he was a general, he could not order Bai Yu. So, when he saw Bai Yu's cold face, he turned to look at Xiaoyue and said, "You are going too far. You are still the daughter- in-law of my Shangguan family!"

"Yeah!" Baby Ruoxi stretched lazily in the cradle: "So boring, you are still holding on at this time!"

"Bai Yu, ask someone to send the silver to the palace!" Xiaoyue said, without even looking at Shangguan Jinghong, and went back to the house with the child.

Shangguan Jinghong's face turned pale as paper. As a royal consort, he had no right to file for divorce or to enter into an engagement.

Only the princess didn't want him!

Of course, once he was abandoned by the princess, it would be equivalent to being abandoned by the entire royal family.

Everything he had, even his life, would probably not be guaranteed.

So, he could only...

endure it!

The silver was taken away, and Hu and Xu Ruzhen were also taken away from Mozhu Garden.

Shangguan Jinghong was extremely worried. He asked the butler to find a doctor, but the doctor diagnosed that Hu was seriously ill and had heart problems. She might only have three to five months to live at most.

Xu Ruzhen, whose fingers were cut off, woke up after a long while in pain, only to be told that her husband Shangguan Jingchen was in the Kyoto government office and had been found to have connections with the Western Region spies. He was afraid that his end would not be good.

The entire general's mansion, except for Mozhu Garden, was in a mess.

Baby Ruoxi was breastfeeding and listening to Dongju's report. She sighed with satisfaction.

"Well, mother did a good job. At least she has disintegrated the power of the scumbag and disrupted his formation. Next, we have to dig out those people behind him. In such a chaotic situation, maybe he can be forced to do something desperate!" Baby Ruoxi thought to herself.

"I don't know if my uncle has noticed the scumbag!"

"Bai Yu, go to the palace this afternoon and ask the emperor if he has found out anything about the banned drugs in the Western Regions?" Xiao Yue said to Bai Yu.

Bai Yu received the order and left.

"Princess, we can stay in the palace for a while. It's not peaceful to live in this mansion!" said Nanny Qin.

"Eunuch Gao has run away three times. His Majesty seems to be anxious." Dong Ju smiled and said, "I have never heard of any emperor holding a child to go to court!"

"After all, our little princess is different. She is a fairy baby!" Nanny Qin picked up the full baby from Xiao Yue's arms and patted her gently.

"Burp~"

Baby Ruoxi burped loudly and was also satisfied.

At least, my mother is no longer the annoying and irritating person. My uncle and the Empress Dowager are nice, and everyone around her is nice.

"Princess, Minister Xu went to Qinghe Garden!" the servant reported.

"Well, just keep an eye on him. Send someone to clean up the three houses of the Xu family!" Xiao Yue took a sip of tea and said lightly.

The three houses of Xu Shilang were also bought by Xu Ruzhen in the past few years at a high price. But this time, Nanny Qin sent someone to buy them for only 30% of the original price paid by the Xu family.

"Princess, we need to spread the word that we bought the houses?" Dongju asked.

"You are a bad girl!" Nanny Qin smiled and said, "Just let Xiaohai go to see Xu Shilang!"
